Bespoke solo safaris designed for freedom, connection, and adventure

For many, traveling solo is an act of empowerment. On safari, it becomes a journey of deep connection — to the land, to the wildlife, and to yourself. Every moment is yours, yet never truly alone.

From the moment you arrive, you’re welcomed by warm hosts and expert guides who make sure you’re looked after at every step. You’ll share stories by the fire, spot lions together at sunrise, and feel the magic of the bush with a team beside you.

Whether it’s tracking wildlife on foot in Botswana, relaxing at a private lodge in Zimbabwe, or trekking to see gorillas in Rwanda, your journey is designed to suit your pace — with plenty of freedom, support, and extraordinary beauty.

At Golden Horizons, we craft solo safaris that feel immersive and safe, filled with meaningful moments and unforgettable views. You may arrive solo, but you’ll never travel alone.

Our Iconic Destinations

Botswana

Untamed, exclusive, and utterly captivating—Botswana is Africa at its most pristine. Glide through the Okavango Delta, track wildlife in the Kalahari, and experience safaris that are deeply remote and luxuriously personal.

Kenya

Kenya—where safari began, and where it still captures the soul. From the golden grasslands of the Maasai Mara to the rugged peaks of Mount Kenya and the sun-drenched shores of the Indian Ocean.

Mauritius

Mauritius is far more than a beach destination. This Indian Ocean island blends French, Indian, African, and Creole influences into a vibrant and elegant mix of cultures, cuisine, and natural beauty.

Mozambique

Mozambique is one of the Indian Ocean’s best-kept secrets—a country of island archipelagos, pristine marine parks, and a rhythm of life shaped by tides and tradition.

Namibia

Namibia, where nature paints with bold strokes and silence stretches across the horizon. This is a country like no other—defined by its vast deserts, fossilized riverbeds, ancient mountains, and wind-swept coastlines.

Rwanda

Rwanda is a country like no other—where mist-shrouded volcanoes cradle rare mountain gorillas, and the rhythm of life unfolds gently across emerald hills. It’s a place of profound natural beauty.

Seychelles

Iconic Beaches, Private Islands, and Indian Ocean Romance Scattered across the Indian Ocean like a string of emeralds, the Seychelles offer a rare kind of island escape—where luxury meets untouched nature.

Where the rhythm of the wild meets timeless landscapes. Witness the Great Migration across the Serengeti, stand in awe of Ngorongoro Crater, and unwind on the spice-scented shores of Zanzibar—Tanzania is safari grandeur at its finest.

Uganda

In Uganda, the wild feels closer. It’s in the hush of ancient forests, the watchful gaze of mountain gorillas, and the rhythmic pulse of the Nile as it carves its way north.

Zambia

Zambia is shaped by its rivers and reserves—where mighty waters wind through national parks and wildlife roams across vast, unspoiled plains. Far less commercial than many of its neighbors

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is a land of dramatic contrasts and hidden treasures. From the hunderous spectacle of Victoria Falls to the sun-drenched plains of Hwange and the riverbanks of Mana Pools
